Bitrue is preparing to list 10 new 3x leveraged stock tokens giving traders synthetic exposure to some of the most closely watched names in artificial intelligence and technology, the exchange announced. Among the confirmed additions are a token tracking Marvell Technology ($MRVL), which Bitrue described as “an AI networking and custom silicon innovator,” and one tracking Zhipu AI ($ZHIPU), billed as “China's leading foundation AI model developer.” The exchange said eight more tokens will round out the initial batch.
Leveraged stock tokens function as synthetic derivatives rather than direct equity: they track the price of an underlying stock without conferring shareholder rights, dividends, or voting power, while the built-in leverage multiplies both gains and losses relative to the stock's actual price movement.
Part of a Broader Tokenized-Equities Push
The listing extends a trend that has picked up pace across crypto exchanges this year, as platforms race to give traders round-the-clock, on-chain access to household-name equities without requiring a traditional brokerage account.
Marvell and Zhipu AI's inclusion in the initial lineup reflects where trader attention has concentrated. Marvell has become a proxy for custom AI silicon demand as hyperscalers diversify away from off-the-shelf chips, while Zhipu AI sits among the Chinese foundation-model developers competing directly with OpenAI and Anthropic for enterprise and consumer AI adoption.
The Trade-Off of Built-In Leverage
Because the tokens carry 3x leverage by default, price swings in the underlying stock are amplified in both directions, and positions can be liquidated faster than an unleveraged equivalent during sharp moves. That makes the products better suited to traders making short-term directional bets on AI-sector momentum than to anyone seeking long-term equity exposure.
The move also underscores how exchanges are increasingly competing on the breadth of their tokenized-stock catalogs, betting that traders who already hold crypto will opt for on-chain leveraged exposure to AI winners rather than opening a separate brokerage account to trade the underlying shares directly.
